Birch plywood for light building
Practical design and functionality
Birch plywood excels in light building applications, from outdoor solutions like playgrounds and carports to high-end flooring, stage systems, industrial linings and decorative panels. Known for durability, flexibility and safety, it’s a versatile choice for joinery, furniture and shop fitting. In addition, due to its low formaldehyde emission level, it isn’t harmful to human health.
- Easy to process and customise, contributing to efficient manufacturing
- Sustainable product with a long life cycle
- Aesthetic and visually appealing with excellent mechanical properties
- Resistant to commonly used household chemicals
- Weather-resistant adhesive , moisture-resistant surface
- Low emission of volatile organic compounds (VOCs)
Plywood applications
Outdoor solutions
Playgrounds and sports fields, skateboard parks, garden sheds, carports, signs and road signs – the application of birch plywood is wide and varied.
High-end flooring & parquet
Birch plywood excels in mechanical properties and dimensional stability, ideal for engineering, dance, and sports floors. Versatile applications include covering sports fields for alternative uses, with options for panel joining and large-scale floor coverings.
Stage systems & industrial flooring
Film-coated birch plywood, featuring anti-slip and wear-resistant qualities, is suitable for use on both indoor and outdoor stages and platforms. Different jointing options are possible, e.g. T&G (Tongue and Groove).
Industrial wall & ceiling linings
Birch plywood finds application in wall finishing for industrial production facilities, warehouses, farms and garages. These panels are known for being easy to maintain, decorative and long-lasting.
Decorative wall & ceiling linings
Birch plywood acoustic wall panels designed for sports halls and concert venues offer outstanding sound quality and are not harmful to human health due to low levels of chemical compound emissions. Additionally, flame-retardant-treated panels enhance fire safety in residential areas.
Panels for overlaying
Birch plywood offers the option to overlay it with various materials such as noble wood, HPL, PPL, CPL and others. This showcases its dimensional stability, tolerance and moisture resistance while broadening its range of potential applications.
Joinery, furniture & shop fitting
Thanks to its minimal formaldehyde emissions, birch plywood is safe for human health, easy to work with, decorative and exceptionally durable in comparison with other materials. The wide selection of coatings available, e.g. CPL, HPL, PPL, TPO, also enables the realisation of various creative ideas.
